We can trust them to do what they want. People are insignificant in the realm of things because government is going to do what they want to do. They are going to do what the money says to do. It will not be what is the best for everyone. It will be what is best for them.

Yes, you should trust the governement

I think you should trust the government, because the government is doing a good job to protect its people and its interests. It works in behalf of the people and by ensuring the security and social stability, it maintains the lives of the common people and makes sure what should be done is done.

Because you're not doing the job

Imagine you were president, your people wanted you to keep them safe. Well OK the first step of that would be to reduce the amount of weapons in circulation. BUT WAIT the Republicans and half of the country don't like that idea, OK then in order to handle that one would merely need to increase funding for the police and reduce red tape, BUT WAIT, the liberals and the other half of the country don't like that. So perhaps you could handle this by putting more funds into the CIA and FBI, it's a good idea and you promised to do this in the election, BUT WAIT people assume this means more torture, more surveillance and less freedoms despite the fact that one part of the bill you were intending to pass forbade this, but no one bothered to read it. Well then perhaps if there's less poverty there would be less incentive for crime, so you put a bill through congress to increase social security, BUT WAIT where are you going to get the money? As there's an over-expenditure into the military you decide to take money out of the military, you had promised this during the election BUT WAIT congress disagrees, and now people think you're a liar and not as a human being would can fail in life, they expect more than that. So a private company has an idea of a new device that will help people find bombs and keep a safer America BUT WAIT that's lobbying and thus corruption. Obviously this was some corrupt decision and not a pragmatic one.

If this job was possible to do to the people's expectations then it would be a dictatorship.

We should trust our government!

If we don’t have government we may harder time controlling society ourselves. According to reference.Com, without a government we would have no one to “provide basic services like roads, education, national security, and enforced laws to discourage” crimes from being committed. Take a look at Spain. They have been trying to find a new government since the election on December 20th. Though the Spaniard are not concerned about not having a government, it puts Spain in a political and economic risks that could have long term effects. Also, Our government may kill, maim, torture, lie, and spy but in the end they are only doing it for the greater good. In the government, those who lie and spy do it for the sake of the country. If we didn’t spy on other countries, the country would be bombed or attacked twice as much. Those who kill, maim, and torture in the government, only do it to criminals and to gain information.“If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists - to protect them and to promote their common welfare - all else is lost.” said former-president Barack Obama. This means that if we don’t trust our government, then bad things will happen, such as civil wars, and tons of chaos. And finally, In 2014, 72 percent of Americans said that the amount of trust that they put in their government was exceptionally high. “That level of trust people feel for their local governments shouldn't be surprising: I see an amazing level of professionalism that would stir even higher numbers if only the public could see the effort and analysis that their communities' public servants put into improving results.” says Stephen Goldsmith, former mayor of Indianapolis. In conclusion we need to trust our government!

There is always a good reason people lie, even if the truth may hurt.

Governments lie for a reason no matter how small or big, we should still trust them. What if there is an alien invasion and they report it all over news? Then people will go crazy. What we want is a government who can control and keep things in order while we can freely express our own opinions. If we really want that, then they will have to lie for our sakes, and figure our a reasonable solution before they expose the truth

Yep itll be mkay

This should really depend on who the government is, but for the most part, yes. If its not a bad one, it should know what is going on around them and how they're going to solve the solution (they diddint get chosen for nothing.) They're trying they're best to protect us in anyway they can, even if it dosent seem like it.

Some Common Sense

When a citizen expects their government to protect them, and keep them safe, and they are not willing to sacrifice anything at all, they are being unrealistic and selfish. Our government has so far succeeded in keeping us safe, and the NSA has stopped over 54 attempted terrorist attacks. Bottom line is... Be realistic with your expectations, and think logically about issues.

No no no

No we should not turst our goverment because they don't help us and they have very low approval raiting from the people so no i don't think that we should yeah thats why and that is all i have to say like legit that is it people peace out. A

Take Care Of Your Own or Maybe Do What's Right For Humanity

America in debt, people we helped protect against terrorism owe us, should we say let them die or just get rid of the abstract idea of money and debt altogether and just say that when something REALLY HAS A POSITIVE IMPACT ON HUMANITY IT WILL BE DONE FOR FREE, PEOPLE GET PAID FOR THEIR WORK WITH NUMBERS ON A SCREEN AND THAT'S IT!!! NO DEBT!!!

Congress lied to routinely.

Due to Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning and Wikileaks, we now know that congress has been routinely and blatantly lied to including under the Obama administration, and even potentially by Hillary Clinton who nearly won the presidency and who is married to former president Bill Clinton who we know for a fact lied under oath regarding Monica Lewinsky. We also know the Pentagon has recently buried and tried to hide an internal review that found over $125 billion dollars in wastage, due to the fact they were scared there would be more budget cuts. These are governmental departments lying to the peoples elected representatives, hundreds of billions of dollars being wasted and hidden, and at minimum complicit presidents.

They are hiding something.

Don't trust them!!

Why should anyone trust a government that has condoned torture, spied on at least 35 world leaders, supports indefinite detention, places bugs in thousands of computers all over the world, kills innocent people with drone attacks, promotes the post office to log mail for law enforcement agencies and arbitrarily authorizes targeted assassinations? Or, for that matter, a president that instituted the Insider Threat Program, which was designed to get government employees to spy on each other and ‘turn themselves and others in for failing to report breaches,’ which includes ‘any unauthorized disclosure of anything, not just classified materials.
